Repartition Drive in Vista

I succeeded at creating a new 2GB volume (formated as drive F) using
the steps listed in the article provided in this
article--http://lifehacker.com/photogallery/vistarepartition/.

But when I try to create a 10GB volume, it tells me that I don't have
enough drive space--even though there's more than 100gb free.

Before doing anything, the C drive shows capacity 136 gb, 100gb free. I
successfully used the shrink uption to get 10gb of unallocated space. Then
I attempted to create the volume and assign a drive letter to it. But it
tells me that there's not enough free space.

The images at the following link were taken before and after the "Shrink"
step and I've
also included the error message.

You can have only up to four primary partitions on a disk drive.
